Time records, on the third anniversary of the Pacific war, that: • Private Joseph Lockard (the young man who stayed overtime to show a friend how to operate the Oahu (Hawaii) plane detective system and who detected and reported a large flight of planes but, like everyone else, could not believe that they were Japs) is now a Lieutenant serving in a Signal Corps in Louisiana. • Major-General Fred. L. Martin, OC Army Air Force in the area, is now retired because of gastric ulcers and deafness.
• Rear-Admiral Husband E. Kim mel, then Commander of Pacific Fleet, lives in a New York suburb. He has several times demanded a chance to clear his name before a court mar tial, and is employed by a New York dock building firm. •Lieut.-General Walter C. Short, Commander of Hawaiian Department, and who is blamed with Kimmel for the failure of American defences, is in charge of “traffic and transpor tation” at the Ford Motor Company’s plant in Dallas, Texas. • Their Jap opposite number, Vice- Admiral Chuichi Nagumo, who led the Jap attack on Oahu, shot himself on Saipan during the American landing there in 1944.
